Destiny Udogie has signed a new six-and-a-half-year deal with Tottenham just three months after making his Premier League debut.

The contract extension will keep the Italy international under contract with Spurs until the summer of 2030.

‘I’m really happy because I think to be here at this club is a big joy for me, so I’m really happy for this opportunity and it’s a pleasure [to be here],’ Udogie said.

‘From the first day I came here, I’ve felt at home with the players, the coaching staff and the club. I feel so welcome and I’m happy to be here.

Udogie, who turned 21 at the end of November, signed for Spurs from Udinese in the summer of 2022 for £15million but remained on loan to the Serie A side for the whole of last season.

Since joining Spurs at the start of the current campaign, the left-back has established himself as a key figure in Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Udogie made his Premier League against Brentford in August and has since made 14 appearances for Spurs – all of them as a starter – and scored his first goal for the club in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle. 

He earned his first call-up to the Italy senior squad in October, 2023, making his debut the same month in a Euro 2024 qualifying fixture against Malta.

Udogie won a second cap in October, playing in Italy’s 3-1 defeat against England at Wembley in a Euro 2024 qualifying.

The left-back made his Serie A debut with Verona aged 18 in November 2020 in a 2-2 draw against AC Milan at the San Siro, before joining Udinese on loan the following summer.

He made 71 appearances in all competitions in two seasons for Udinese, who paid Verona £3.5m to sign him up in July 2022, before selling him to Spurs a month later.
